  Japanese livestream shows off 8 minutes of new Ys X footage Source: NihonFalcomSince1981 (Youtube.com) The livestream showcase for this game was split into four sections starting off with a little story segment. The first thing we see could be the intro sequence of the game. We can see Adol and Dogi, in their new designs, talking to people on a ship. As per Ys tradition Adol could be starting on a ship. However, since in this game we know you can ride around on a ship, perhaps this time there isn't a crash and Adol actually gets to land safely. This part ends off with us being shown art of the two main characters for the game. One being Adol as usual, while the other being a new character who is a female. We have previously seen this new character before though so this isn't a new reveal or anything.  Source: NihonFalcomSince1981 (Youtube.com) We then get some actual gameplay, this gameplay potion focuses on showing the new traversal abilities. Ys 9 had traversal a...

  Ten years later, new Amiibos are still appearing on store shelves Source: twitter.com/NintendoUK Recently, we had the announcement of the duo pack for the Pyra and Mythra amiibos. These are part of the smash bros series of amiibo. On top of this, we also had confirmation of Noah and Mio amiibos representing Xenoblade Chronicles 3.  It's no surprise amiibos continue to be released and purchased by many when they are such good figures. I will go into the main reasons why I think amiibo are still around and doing well today. Cost   Source: store.nintendo.co.uk Amiibos are some of the cheapest gaming figures you can get. Most figures retail at £12.99 with duo packs and special figures being a bit more. While other gaming figures may warrant the higher price due to some extra pieces they come with, amiibos are far superior in terms of price and it's not even really close. Nendoroid for example, you can change out the weapons and facial expressions, but how many times ar...

  Three commercials for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom have been uploaded to various Nintendo Youtube channels This first commercial, mostly contains shots we have seen in the recent trailer. There is one new shot were you can see Link jump off a mountain and use his paraglider. This shot gives a good look at one of the weird markings on the ground. This one of which seems to resemble a molduga, a previous enemy from Breath of the Wild. This next commercial, doesn't seem to contain any new shots and then right at the end they sneak one in. The shot shows Link standing on some type of structure in the sky islands. This shot gives you a good look at the big building we have seen many times before. We hadn't seen it in as a good a view before. This last commercial is a goldmine of new shots. Firstly, you get to see more of one of the cutscenes shown off in the latest trailer where Zelda calls out to link. The extended clip shows a better look at the master sword she is ...

  Last night Nintendo dropped a trailer for Xenoblade Chronicles 3. The trailer showcases wave 4 for the expansion pass This trailer gives us a taste of what we can expect to see in the DLC story expansion called Future Redeemed. Along with cast of new characters there are some familiar faces that Xenoblade series veterans will recognise. Future redeemed seems to be a prequel to the events of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Just like the Story DLC Torna the golden country was for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. From the trailer there are many questions I have about what is happening in the story and I am very interested to see where it goes. Artwork of the main characters in this story DLC expansion can be found on twitter from the user @XenobladeJP. Here is the artwork for one of the main characters, Matthew.  As well as this, a relationship chart has been made to showcase the relationships between the characters of this story DLC. However, this is currently only in Japanese. It can be seen b...
